  1. Lay out the beef slices, season them and spread each with mustard.
  2. Cover each with two bacon slices, a few strips of one onion and a gherkin cut lengthways. Roll up tightly from the short end and close with a cocktail stick or string.
  3. Brown the rolls well in the oil in a casserole and set aside. Fry the second onion, the carrot, celery and leek, diced, for 5 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste.
  4. Pour in the wine and let it reduce by half, then add the stock and bay leaf and return the rolls.
  5. Cover and braise gently for 1½–2 hours, turning once, until tender.
  6. Lift out the rolls, strain or blend the sauce and thicken it with the flour stirred into a little cold water. Serve with potatoes or dumplings and red cabbage.
